Vince May 16, 2013 for Model Number LEQ1442ESO Dryer runs but does not dry, have replaced the element, vent not blocked, I believe heater relay not coming on but not sure if there is some other issue with thermostat or limiter. Anyway to verify this or is it just control board issue? Ideas?
1 Answer Vince, You will want to check the high limit thermostat and the thermal fuse to make sure that they have continuity. If they do not have continuity then they need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Joel March 26, 2013 for Model Number leq1442esi When you cut my dryer on it will start to heat up for just a few minutes then stops. Wondering if it is the heating element or the control board. Please help. Thanks Joel
1 Answer Hello Joel. Check and make sure the vent is good on the unit. If so, and the cycling thermostat is reseting, then you need to replace the control on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Robert March 25, 2013 for Model Number LEQ1442ESO The dryer sometimes will not start the lights all work and so does the beeper. I have unplug from electrical outlet and still nothing. Then you can go back and hit the start button and it will start. Any idea or help would be appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Robert. Try turning the tub as you press the start button. If the unit starts and runs, then you will need to replace the motor on the unit. It sounds like a motor issue. Read More...
Joe September 13, 2012 for Model Number LEQ1442ESO My Frigidaire dryer won't turn on. I push the start button and all I hear is a click a few seconds later. The lights all come on, but it won't run. All I get is a click. The click sounds like it's coming from the control board area, but I don't know much about it. Thanks for any help.
1 Answer Hello Joe, The first thing you need to do is to make sure one side of the breaker isn't tripped. If it isn't, you should use a test meter to insure the unit has 240Vac supplied to it. If it does, you will need to replace the control 134484212. Read More...
Mary L July 04, 2012 for Model Number LGQ1442es0 Lights flashing and beeping randomly (incessantly) even though operation is fine. What do I do? Is there a warranty?
1 Answer Hello Mary. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board 134484212 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. You will need to remove the control panel and check for loose wires or bad connections on the unit. These can also cause the issues you are having with the unit. Also check and make sure there are no buttons sticking on the unit and causing the issues you are having with the unit. Here is a link to our warranty page for the warranty information on the part. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/warranty.aspx Read More...
Mike June 23, 2012 for Model Number LGQ1442ES0 My 7-year-old Frigidaire Propane dryer purchased in 2005 has been giving off random beeps for several months, but otherwise it was working okay so we just unplugged it every so often to make the beeping stop. But yesterday it refused to operate and was beeping randomly. I was able to make the dryer work by selecting certain Timed Dry/Auto Dry knob settings (Delicate and 90 minutes worked but no other settings did). I also tried to follow the directions to give me an error code but I was not able to do so. I have taken it apart and examined the control board and the buttons are clicking properly and don't seem to be sticky. I am guessing it is a mechanical problem in the Timed Dry/Auto Dry selector switch, since some settings work and others don't. I suppose I will need to order a new Control Board. Your website gives this as Part Number AP3844555 and Manufacturers P/N 134484212 and your photo matches my Control Board, but I don't find your numbers on my control board and I want to make sure I am ordering the correct part.
1 Answer Hello Mike. Yes, based on the model number you provided, 134484212 is the correct control board for the unit. Read More...
Tex December 14, 2011 for Model Number LEQ1442ESO My 6 yr old Frigidaire electric dryer beeps intermittently and the lights on the control panel flash. Usually, the dryer dries clothes, but sometimes not. This beep / flash event has happened frequently over the past 6 months and seems to be getting more frequent. I have cleaned the lint filter and hose and vent to the outside and have unplugged the dryer for 30 minutes. NO help. I have been reading appliance repair blogs and it appears as if it may be the control panel /circuit board. What do you think? Is this something that I can install with common tools? Any special level of expertise needed to install the control board? Thanks,
1 Answer Tex, First thing, check and make sure none of the control panel buttons are sticking, remove the dryer top and check the control printed circuit board and area for possible moisure, debris, or condensation. If all checks are OK, then replace the control board 134484212. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
John October 16, 2011 for Model Number FEQB4000FS0 The dryer beeps all of the time and the only way it stops is to power it down. What can be done to fix this? Also, the drum screeches and makes noises periodically. The dryer is not that old for bearings to be going bad.
1 Answer Hello John. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the front felt seal 134440200 and the rear bearing kit 5303281153. The front seal is most likely where the noise is coming from, but if it is bad, the bearing has been running with the tub dropped and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
